365+ Movies in 365 days: Day 50 - Toy Story & The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Day 50 was a double feature. First I took a look at the original Toy Story while Toy Story 3 was fresh in my mind and then I watched Disney's animated classic The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I can't think of any other film series where each sequel is better than the original. Toy Story was a wonder to behold in 1995, but compared to Toy Story 2 & Toy Story 3 it is very simplistic both in animation style and the themes it explores. At The Movie house rating *** stars


The Hunchback Of Notre Dame is probably Disney's darkest picture. The story was changed to appeal to children but the film still manages to touch on mature themes such as bigotry, lust, religious hypocrisy, social injustice, prejudice, the power of prayer, God and Hell. It is an outstanding musical and an animated Masterpiece. At The Movie House rating **** stars
